1,000-Star quarterly health-review template

Copy this template into a dated evidence document. Replace every placeholder; do not delete an unanswered field. The review is a decision record, not a marketing update.

Review identity

Field Value
Review window YYYY-MM-DD through YYYY-MM-DD
Captured at YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ
Current phase G0G9
Source revision full 40-character public or explicitly local-only Git SHA
Reviewer role or approved public identity

Next review YYYY-MM-DD

Outcome summary

In five sentences or fewer, state what became easier, what remains unsafe or unproven, and why the selected decision follows from the evidence.

Phase exits

Required exit Status Evidence Blocker / next action
replace with every exit for the current phase PASS, FAIL, or INCOMPLETE repository-relative path or public URL exact condition and owner

No phase advances with a missing row or an INCOMPLETE quality exit. A Star checkpoint is reported separately and cannot turn an exit into PASS.

Funnel scorecard

Stage Current value Prior comparable value Interpretation
Stars lagging discovery signal
14-day qualified referrals top-referrer limitation stated
Primary bundle downloads release and age stated
Independent first maps accepted cumulative / attempted window
First-run completion and active time sample size and workflow stated
External PRs / merged contributors 90-day / 180-day windows
Untriaged issues and response time support scope stated
Stable release age exception, if any, stated
Review-owner coverage named domain, not only a count

Use privacy-bounded aggregates. Do not include stargazer, issue-author, validator, or contributor identities without a separate reason and consent.

Product and evidence health

Check Status Evidence / finding
Supported P0/P1 queue
Clean install and upgrade
Canonical first-map path
Release rollback/recovery
Public claim reproduction
Dependency and license drift
Private/local-only critical input

Capacity and ownership

Signal State
Product/community/research allocation
Product WIP
Community WIP
Research WIP
Contributions awaiting substantive review
Single-owner procedure or subsystem
Support load exception

State which scope will be reduced if capacity is insufficient. Do not reduce a quality gate to fit the quarter.

Experiment decisions

Previous experiment Baseline Result Decision and reason
one row per active experiment CONTINUE, STOP, or REDIRECT

Largest current constraint

Name exactly one constraint in the discovery → activation → trust → contribution → sustainability chain. Include the evidence that makes it larger than the alternatives.

Next bounded portfolio

Slice Outcome Owner Stop condition Due/review date
Product/release one outcome
Community one outcome
Research zero or one outcome

External-action state

Gate State Exact authorized scope or blocker
E1 source publication AUTHORIZED or NOT_AUTHORIZED
E2 artifact publication AUTHORIZED or NOT_AUTHORIZED
E3 community mutation AUTHORIZED or NOT_AUTHORIZED
E4 stable release AUTHORIZED or NOT_AUTHORIZED

Authorization for one row must not be copied into another.

Final decision

Record ADVANCE, HOLD, REPLAN, or SUSTAIN, the evidence-based reason, the next review date, and the person or role responsible for the next bounded outcome.
